New Budget Committee Report Highlights Devastating Impact of Republican Budget on Middle-Class
Washington, D.C. – Today, Ranking Member Brendan F. Boyle (D-PA) released a new report exposing how the Republican budget betrays the middle class. The report shows that the Republican budget slashes essential programs like Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, threatening healthcare access for millions. It also details severe cuts to food assistance, making it harder for struggling Americans to put food on the table—all while prioritizing handouts to corporate special interests. The findings make clear that this budget undermines working families while benefiting the wealthy and well-connected.
“This report confirms the Republican budget is a betrayal of middle-class Americans,” said Ranking Member Boyle. “They are willing to rip healthcare away from millions, slash food assistance when grocery prices are already sky-high, and gut investments in our children’s future—all to funnel taxpayer dollars to their billionaire donors. No one voted for this.”
While Republicans push policies that punish working families and reward billionaires, House Budget Committee Democrats are committed to protecting access to healthcare, ensuring families can afford food, and strengthening economic opportunities for all—not just the wealthiest few.
